Windows Phone GDR 3 Update allows Xbox Music Pass Song Credits

Are you still one of those early adapters of the Zune Music Pass which is now the Xbox Music Pass and you have your 10 song credits a month. Well, now you can use these credits on your Windows Phone 8 with the GDR3 Update. (Update 3). The great thing is that the download of the songs using these credits will be in the MP3 format in which you can share it right away with your family and friends.

If you find a song on your Windows Phone 8 with Update 3 you can simply tap and hold the title and select “buy”. If this song allows credits to be used from your Xbox Music Pass it will show up on your screen to use the credit. There will be also information about how many credits you have left for the month. This is definitely a feature I missed. I still used my Zune software to mange these credits. But now I can use my Windows Phone 8 easily to get the songs I want when ever I want them.
